Band: Futures End

Described on their official website as a mix of Symphony X, Testament and Alice In Chains, this band plays Progressive Metal with some Power metal influences, epic, complex yet also catchy, IMO, in the same vein of Pagan's Mind. The vocals are supplied by ex-Zero Hour singer Fred Marshall, who sounds way more comfortable here than he did in his previous band.

Their debut album was well received among Metal fans and critics alike and was voted Best Prog Metal Album of 2009 on USA Progressive Music Magazine.
